The temperature was three degrees above average last week, the Blue Hill Observatory announced last night. This followed the pattern set during the past three months, when the weather was unusually warm in comparison with past falls.
Charles Franklin Brooks, professor of Meteorology and director of the Observatory, said last night that warm southerly and south-easterly winds were the primary causes of the mild weather. He added that the lack of any show helped to maintain the comparatively high temperatures.
Despite yesterday's rain storms, this fall has been unusually dry for the area. Brooks noted that the past three months have seen 42 per cent less precipitation than average.
